CALIGULA'S PALACE AND BRIDGE,
Joseph M. W. Turner, National Gallery,
London; canvas, H. 4 ft. 8 in. × 8 ft. 2 in.
Caligula, to confute a prophecy of Thrasyllus—that
he would no more be emperor than
he could drive his chariot over the Bay
of Baiæ—built a bridge of boats from
the mole at Puteoli across the bay, about
three Roman miles, and rode and drove
over it. Turner has assumed that the
bridge was constructed on arches. On the
left are magnificent ruins of Caligula's palace,
with the bridge across the bay in the
middleground; on the right, in distance,
Baiæ. Royal Academy, 1831. Engraved by
E. Goodall in Turner Gallery.

CALLCOTT, Sir AUGUSTUS WALL,
born at Kensington,
Feb. 20, 1779,
died there, Nov.
25, 1844. Chorister
boy for several
years in Westminster
Abbey; pupil
of John Hoppner;
became a
portrait painter,
and executed many figure pieces, such as
Raphael and the Fornarina (1837), and Milton
with his Daughters (1840). But it is as
a landscape painter that he will be chiefly
remembered. As such, he ranks among the
best contemporaries of Turner and Constable,
though he stands at a respectful distance
from either in point of originality and
